Believe me, I'm Still Sacred

Chapters 20. Raihan Explanation

...🍀🍀🍀...

Love is beautiful, but for him it hurts. Maybe because she was let down by love, because of her failed marriage. This time he also seemed to be disappointed again with Raihan.

The man chased him out of the hospital. "Zahwa! Listen to my explanation!" raihan called Zahwa.

"What is Mas's explanation?" sahut Zahwa asked.

Raihan breathed a sigh of relief, because Zahwa still wanted to talk to him even though he was angry. "We're talking over lunch with yuk?" tanyanya Raihan's.

Recalling the invitation to eat together from Raihan made Zahwa frown. He suddenly remembered the incident last night that almost took away his chastity. When Raihan left without preaching and stupidly waiting for Raihan there. Remembering last night he became upset, coupled with the matchmaking that Salimah said, his heart really felt hot.

"By here, by the way. I have another lunch appointment soon." said Zahwa as he glanced at his watch which showed at 12:15 p.m. Yes, he did have a lunch appointment with Selina. Cousin's sister.

"Okay Zahwa, I'm sorry I left the restaurant last night. You're not going there, are you? You're not waiting for me, are you?" first the man apologized for last night.

Zahwa was silent with both hands crossed at the chest. It hurts to hear an apology from Raihan. "Don't talk about it again, Mommy,"

Discussing what happened last night meant talking about him and the thugs. He won't talk about it anymore. It was like Zahwa's wounds were back open. She thought let Raihan not know about last night.

"How can you say don't talk? While calls and messages from me none of you reply? I'm worried, you must be mad at me, right?" raihan asked with guilt on his mind to Zahwa.

"Forget over! Now I am clear, what matchmaking does Salimah mean?" the question is firm, do not want to discuss last night and want to discuss the issue of Salimah speech alone.

"About that..." Raihan was confused as to how to explain it.

"Don't try to lie, mas" he said with a sharp look at Raihan.

"Astagfirullah wa.I never want to lie to you! I'll explain everything honestly," she said with teary eyes.

"Okay, please clear. I have 5 minutes."

Raihan explained the quick, short-lived matchmaking his family had with the Zainab family. And last night Raihan was lied to by his brother who said he was sick, then he went home. It turned out that there was even a meeting with the Zainab family and Zainab was also there. But Raihan did not explain to Zahwa about the polygamy plan proposed by Abah and his brother.

"So ustadz Arifin same ustadz Iqbal fooled brother and son ustadz Burhan? Brother Zainab?"

"You know him?" askalanya.

"Yes, he's a close friend of mine.we're one campus." he replied with a sigh.

"Oh..."

"Yes, I want to go first. Adzan dzuhur."

"Behold Zahwa! Please don't be angry? Mas and Zainab refused this matchmaking anyway Zainab also said that she had someone she liked. Mas please...Our relationship remains intertwined huh?"

Raihan placed his index finger on Zahwa's lips while stopping him from speaking. "Zahwa..I beg you, forget about all that? Because I'm definitely going to marry you,"

He looked at the man with teary eyes. "Don't you believe I'm still holy? Mas-"

"I believe you're still holy because I don't believe in the pictures and I don't care, so I want to keep our relationship. So I'm asking you to please, please be patient until I can convince all my family." Pinta Raihan who was sincere and determined, still wanted to maintain their relationship.

Zahwa also still has a desire to maintain his relationship and Raihan. But their two families are feuding at the moment, let alone Amayra who now blatantly rejects Raihan.

"Alright Mas, I'll try to give our relationship a chance. Don't make me wait long, Mom. Don't disappoint me again, don't hurt me again..."

The man smiled wryly, with one hand he wiped away Zahwa's tears that had already come down to his cheeks. "Thank you for giving me a chance. You don't have to worry about the match, I rejected it because I just want you to be my wife" she said gently and made Zahwa melt with her sweet words. "Oh yeah, and I'm not here to see Zainab.I'm here to see you and I happen to cross paths with her and Salimah." it was clear again to Zahwa who broke up the misunderstanding between the two of them.

The girl nodded slowly, she would hold onto Raihan's promise to maintain their relationship. And Zahwa will also do the same by keeping his heart for Raihan. "Okay, I understand.sorry yes I'm angry.first with you."

May your promise really not be on the tongue, may God unite the love of us both. Inner Zahwa pray.

"I'm also sorry that I left you last night. Are you angry or are you jealous?" god to the girl.

"Hehe, what the hell mas!" Zahwa smiled again on the sidelines of his cries.

Raihan smiled with relief when he saw Zahwa's beautiful face begin to smile back. "Hehe, have you, we prayed dhuhur first yuk? There's a Mushala, right near here?" asked Raihan gently while inviting Zahwa to perform Zuhr prayer.

"Yes, it's over there!" point Zahwa at the mosque on the left of the ER room.

They also went to the mushala together and separated when they were going to take the water. After ablution and performing prayers, Zahwa came out first because he received a message from Selina who was in front of the hospital.

"Sister!" Call Selina while waving her hand to Zahwa. Zahwa smiled back.

But Selina wasn't alone, she was with Rey there. "Sister? Is brother here too?" zahwa greeted Rey with a smile as usual.

"Yes, Selina said take you to lunch! So I'd like to come with you guys for lunch too!" rey said with a smile.

"I think the president of a big company doesn't have lunch outside, hahh.ya let's eat together" said Zahwa.

Actually Rey is busy with her job as the company leader replacing her father Bram who is going to New York, but heard Selina wants to have lunch with Zahwa. Rey asks her secretary for permission to go outside and have lunch outside with Zahwa.

"Zahwa, I'm having lunch with you as well" said a man standing right behind Zahwa.

The man whose presence was very disturbing in Reyndra's eyes. To the point that the man stared cynically at her.

Why is he here?
